Indian Masterminds Stories

Ahmedabad: In a landmark move toward boosting domestic crude oil production, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has inaugurated its state-of-the-art Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) Project at the Jhalora Field in Ahmedabad Asset. The project was formally launched by ONGC Director (Production) Pankaj Kumar, reinforcing the PSU’s leadership in advanced EOR technologies.

Boosting Production with Cutting-Edge CEOR
The project targets the K-III+IV reservoir at Jhalora and is expected to yield an incremental 0.598 Million Metric Tonnes (MMt) of crude oil by FY 2039–40, contributing an additional 4.27% recovery. This is a major gain from a mature field and aligns with India’s broader energy security and self-reliance objectives.

ONGC said the new ASP injection scheme represents the next phase in its Chemical EOR Programme, which aims to maximize hydrocarbon recovery from ageing assets using innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
